PHILATELIC EXHIBITION
The New Zealand Centennial and Ninth Australian Philatelic Exhibition will be held in Wellington next April under the patronage of the National Centennial Council. Although special prominence will be given to the various issues of Now Zealand stamps, the exhibition will be completely representative of the stamp issues of the whole world from 1840 to the present day. It was in May, 1840, that the first postage stamp was ever issued, New Zealand’s first postage stamp appearing in 1855. The exhibition will be the most comprehensive ot iis kind ever held in New Zealand, and it is expected, will attract exhibits from a wide field.
